I would be very careful about only using coax that is rated for RF
transmission. TV/CATV type RG-6 and RG-59 are designed for VHF/UHF
reception only.

Greetings,
Can anyone recommend a WHITE coax for antenna lead of about 40-50? ? My XYL
is very fussy about wires showing and black sticks out like a sore thumb.
Would the coax used by TV cable installers work ok? I?m only running 100 W
max. That?s the only white coax I?ve seen.
RadioShack has at least a 12' length of RG-58 with BNC conenctors in white:

Maybe that would get you far enough to transition to black.
The RF Connection web site says they sell RG-8X in white (see "9091"):

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
